Tesla being considered for UK government use

Tesla Motors, a month after starting Model S deliveries in the U.K., said its flagship electric sedan is among the cars being considered for purchase by the government there to transport officials. The Government Car Service that provides vehicles for U.K. ministers will make the initial purchases under a program to buy more than 150 ultra-low emission vehicles, the nation’s Department for Transport said. The government set aside $8.6 million for the program, according to a release.
